Chapter 452: Heaven, Earth, and Man
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, it is the most difficult to master, Ziling, you have only formulated some laws and regulations behind the scenes to make Fangqi County run in an orderly manner, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is really amazing!" For a long time, Lai Yinuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed.
Although he was a genius in cultivation in Tianyan Sect, he was a layman in governing the country, and it was really hard to imagine that Qin Ziling could manage a huge county so well just by formulating some laws and regulations behind the scenes.
"Haha, I can't hide it from the teacher, in fact, I am also very good at cooking. When today's important business is finished, I will burn a table for you. Qin Ziling couldn't help but be a little proud when he heard this.
Lai Yinuan and the others were stunned on the spot when they heard this, they couldn't imagine that a cow like Qin Ziling, who could suppress the two Jindan Ancestors, was still a master of cooking!
"Teacher, you shouldn't have come here just to talk about the change of ownership of the Great Qi Kingdom, right? Moreover, the Great Qi Country is such a big country, Tianyan Sect is willing to hand over the whole to our Qin family, it shouldn't be so simple, right? Qin Ziling quickly put away the little smugness on his face and asked in a deep voice.
"You're right. Tianyan Sect handed over the Great Qi Kingdom to the Qin family, because he wanted to form a great good relationship with you, and even if you lack any resources in your cultivation, you can also bring it up, and Tianyan Sect will try its best to satisfy you. Lai Yinuan said.
"Oh?" Qin Ziling's face changed slightly, and he said, "Could it be that Tianyan Sect wants me to deal with some powerful characters?" ”
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." A look of surprise flashed in Lai Yinuan's eyes, and he said, "Zu Hong, the head of the Taiding Sect, successfully survived the Immortal Tribulation and became an Earth Immortal. ”
"Taidingmen, Earth Immortal?" Qin Ziling's face was puzzled.
"I forgot that although you are very capable, you have risen too fast, you are still very young, and you know many things limitedly." Seeing Qin Ziling's puzzled expression, Lai Yinuan was slightly stunned at first, and then understood.
"That's true, the family scripture pavilion mainly records the affairs of the Great Qi Kingdom, and there are a few records outside the Great Qi Kingdom in addition to the neighboring countries, and there are almost no records in the farther ones. The records of cultivation are mainly below the Xuanshi, and there are almost no records above the Xuanshi. Qin Ziling nodded.
"Actually, I don't know much about that." Jian Bailou followed and said.
Lai Yinuan nodded when he heard this, and said, "The vast land we live in is called the Xuanming Continent, and beyond the Xuanming Continent is the vast and boundless sea. What other continental countries are above the sea, that's not something I can know.
There are seventy countries of all sizes on the Xuanming Continent, and a country of this level is considered a big country, with a total of twenty-three. Above these seventy countries, there are four sects, two demon sects, two demon sects and other eight major forces.
The four sects are Tianyan Sect, Taiding Sect, Xuanshui Sect, and Qingfeng Sect; The two demon sects are the Heavenly Wolf Demon Sect and the Red Python Demon Sect; The two demon sects are the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Netherworld Sect.
These eight forces are above the 70 countries, and after generations of struggle, they have divided their respective spheres of influence. Because there is not much difference in strength between the eight major forces, except for some small-scale battles and fights over the years, everyone has been relatively peaceful.
But in the past hundred years, because of the genius disciple of Xi Zuhong in the Taiding Sect, the Taiding Sect, which was originally outstanding, has become more and more powerful, riding the dust and pressing the other seven major forces. Many of the rules of the Xuanming Continent are decided by the Taiding Gate, and the Taiding Gate has also forcibly carved away a lot of territory in the past hundred years. Even the Alien Beast Mountain Range, which has always been dominated by the two major demon sects, has been directly and forcibly swept away by the Taiding Gate.
However, Taidingmen is not strong enough to resist the seven major forces with the power of one force, so Taidingmen is not yet able to give orders to the seven major forces, and it is impossible to achieve Shunchang's rebellion. But now it's different, Xi Zuhong has become an earth immortal in the realm of immortal infants, and his strength crushes the seven major forces. I'm afraid that after he consolidates his realm, he will forcibly ask the seven major forces to surrender to Taidingmen. ”
Speaking of this, Lai Yinuan stopped.
The atmosphere in the hall began to become solemn at this time.
The joy and ease brought by Jian Bailou and the others because Qin Ziling had just killed Jiang Shengyun were gone.
They originally thought that Tianyan Sect was strong enough, but now they knew that Tianyan Sect was only one of the eight major forces, and among these eight major forces, there was now the strength of one force that could crush the other seven major forces.
"What do you say about fairy babies, earth fairies and the like? How powerful is it compared to Brother Jindan? After a while, Qin Ziling asked.
"Cultivation is divided into three paths, cultivating gods, refining qi, and martial arts, among which martial arts are also called refining the body. When the three realms are cultivated to a certain level, they can be called immortals. After cultivating gods and becoming immortals, they are collectively called heavenly immortals, those who refine qi are called earth immortals, and martial arts are called human immortals.
Cultivating gods is the most ethereal and mysterious, although there should be people cultivating gods in the Xuanming Continent, but there are very few, and the strength is weak, at most, it will bewitch ordinary people, so there is very little information that circulates out.
At present, as a teacher, I know that the realm of cultivating gods can be divided into the realms of concentration, out-of-body, possession, exorcism, distraction, seizure, manifestation, thunder, and immortals. The realms before the manifestation should be the same as the Qi refining, divided into three small realms: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. But how to divide the two great realms of Thunder Tribulation and Heavenly Immortal, I don't know at all.
When refining qi, the Jindan monk cannot be called an immortal, but can only be called a half-immortal. The Jindan monk successfully crossed the catastrophe, and only after breaking the pill became a baby did he call the immortal, called the earth immortal. The realm of immortal babies is only the lowest realm among the earth immortals, which means that they are babies in the earth immortals. But even so, the strength of the Earth Immortal in the Immortal Infant Realm was not something that the Jindan Monk could compete with.
The realm of immortal babies is divided into three small realms: primary, middle and late. After the realm of the fairy baby, the fairy baby is fully grown and called the true immortal. True immortals are actually a realm of earth immortals, but under normal circumstances, they are directly called true immortals. True immortals are rumored to be divided into nine grades, and what else is after the true immortals is not recorded in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Tianyan Sect.
Cultivating martial arts, after the martial saint survives the catastrophe, it can be called an immortal, because martial arts is a small world with itself, and it is itself that is cultivated, so it is called a human immortal. The path of martial arts cultivation is extremely difficult, and in the past thousand years in the Xuanming Continent, it seems that there has never been a human immortal. As for earlier, it is not clear, and even if there were, I am afraid that it is very rare, otherwise there would not be no record of this aspect.
Regarding the immortals, the ancestors of the Tianyan Sect who went out and returned in the past dynasties also have some records left. It is said that the first realm of the martial saint to survive the catastrophe and become a human immortal is called the realm of rebirth, and then the realm of the Dharma body, the realm of the cave sky, and the realm of the cave is also divided into nine grades, but there is no record of what realm is after the cave sky.
Since the realm of rebirth is already a human immortal, it stands to reason that it should be equivalent to the earth immortal in the realm of immortal infants. But because human immortals are based on people themselves, their strength is limited when they first become human immortals, and earth immortals can borrow the power of heaven and earth, and have heaven and earth as backers, so when a martial artist first became a human immortal, he was only more powerful than Jindan monks, and he was not as good as the earth immortals in the realm of immortals. ”
Speaking of this, Lai Yinuan glanced at Qin Ziling and added, "You are different, I am referring to ordinary monks. ”
"In this way, the human immortals in the realm of rebirth are actually almost equivalent to the Jindan realm, and the Dharma body realm is equivalent to the immortal infant realm, but generally speaking, in this corresponding realm, the human immortals are slightly more powerful." Qin Ziling said.
"That's pretty much it." Lai Yinuan nodded.
Qin Ziling's expression became solemn when he heard this.
He is still only a Martial Saint, and after the Martial Saint, he is a human immortal in the realm of rebirth, and then a human immortal in the realm of the Law Body, and Xi Zuhong in the Immortal Infant Realm is now a human immortal equivalent to the Law Body Realm, and there are two great realms in between.
Although Qin Ziling was confident that he had displayed that broken dragon claw, it was extremely powerful, and he should be able to barely fight with the Immortal Infant Ancestor. But the problem is that he can only perform one or two blows on the dragon claw, and then he will stop eating, while the Immortal Infant Ancestor can continuously perform such powerful killing moves.
The gap between the two is still very large!
Of course, Qin Ziling had other means, and even a Manifest Saint-level Divine Soul, but those methods were okay to deal with the Jindan Monk, and it was definitely not enough to deal with the Immortal Infant Ancestor.
After all, the gap in the realm is too big!
